I'm preparing a presentation about Perl and Unicode support, and I'd
like to give a name for characters with ordinals above 255. Is there a
good name for that class?

They are "characters outside the latin-1 range".

How about "extended characters"???

Bad name, because it would suggest an actual barrier, which in unicode
isn't there.
